房屋买断计划旨在永久地将家庭从易受未来灾害影响的地区迁移出去，尽管其影响尚未得到很好的了解。这些方案的影响中最不为人所知的是那些位于买断区附近的不参与家庭。在这里，我们展示了对纽约奥克伍德的研究结果，奥克伍德是一个外围社区，受到邻近社区买断计划的影响。根据桑迪飓风三年半后收集的定性数据，我们从资源保护理论的角度审视了受影响家庭的经历。我们发现外围社区的居民经历了一系列与买断实施相关的损失，包括影响他们安全感的物理环境的损失，反映政府未能为他们的最佳利益行动的条件资源的损失，以及与买断后土地使用决策相关的长期经济损失的威胁，而他们无法控制这些决策。综上所述，这些损失造成了复苏停滞的经历，使居民处于永久的不稳定状态。讨论了在评估和实施收购时考虑周边社区的相关政策影响。
Home buyout programmes are designed to permanently relocate households away from areas that are vulnerable to future hazards, though their impacts are not well understood. Among the least understood impacts of these programmes are those related to non-participating households located near buyout zones. Here, we present findings from a study of Oakwood, NY, a peripheral community that was impacted by a buyout programme in a neighbouring community. Drawing on qualitative data collected three-and-a-half years after Hurricane Sandy, we examine the experiences of affected households through the lens of Conservation of Resources theory. We find that residents of the peripheral community experienced a suite of losses associated with the implementation of the buyout, including losses in the physical environment that impacted their sense of safety, losses in conditions resources reflecting a perception that the government had failed to act in their best interests, and the threat of long-term financial losses associated with post-buyout land use decisions over which they had no control. Taken together, these losses contributed to an experience of stalled recovery that left residents in a permanent state of limbo. Policy implications related to the consideration of peripheral communities in the assessment and implementation of buyouts are discussed.
